A sweet post-marriage romance about secretly marrying your boss and enjoying the everyday fun of it~
1.
The boldest thing Zhuang Keyin had ever done was elope with a man she'd met only once.
That day, outside her home, she saw an extraordinarily handsome man for the first time. On an impulse, without thinking, she asked, "Excuse me, have you... been thinking about getting married lately?"
As soon as the words were out, she realized she'd misspoken and was about to apologize. But the man smiled and said, "Yeah. I'm just missing a wife."
2.
They reached an agreement: a one-year trial marriage, and if it didn't work out, they would part ways.
Zhuang Keyin assumed he was also doing it to fend off pressure to marry. They were both getting what they wanted.
But when she returned to Zecheng, she discovered that the husband she'd picked up for a bargain was the CEO of the company she'd just joined!
Outside the Civil Affairs Bureau, she started having second thoughts.
"Um, Mr. Shen, I've thought it over carefully. I think it's a little too soon to get married. Maybe we can work together another time!"
She had just lifted her foot when she heard his deep, emotionless voice behind her: "The penalty for breaking the agreement is ten million. Remember to pay up, Ms. Zhuang."
After taking a deep breath, Zhuang Keyin turned around with a bright smile. "Oh, what a lovely day. It's definitely a good day to get our marriage license!"
3.
Everyone at the company knew their CEO was more handsome than a movie star and cared about nothing but work. The news that he'd married on a whim sent the whole company into an uproar.
Some colleagues speculated that, since their boss had never brought his wife around despite being married for so long, the two must have entered a marriage of convenience and had no real feelings for each other.
Then, at the company annual party, everyone saw the big boss walk over to the HR table and look at a certain someone who'd been pretending not to know him all evening. In a low voice, he asked, "Am I really that embarrassing?"
Everyone: That wounded tone... Are they sure that's their decisive, no-nonsense boss?
*She once offered him a glimmer of light in the dark. No one knew that, when she appeared before him again that day, a garden of flowers bloomed in his heart.
Bonus scene:
Zhuang Keyin had no real objections to the terms of their agreement, except for the last one.
Pointing to the words "marital relations," she forced a smile and asked, "Do we... have to trial that too?"
Shen Huan answered candidly, "Since it's a trial marriage, of course we should try everything."
"But we can wait for that to happen naturally."
Zhuang Keyin had just breathed a sigh of relief when he added, "Of course, if you're in a hurry, I can oblige."
